Candi Prambanan

A less well-known cousin of Candi Borobudur, Candi Prambanan is a UNESCO world heritage site situated about half an hour away from Kota Yogjakarta.  Built some fifty years from Candi Borobudur, this complex is a shrine to the Hindu gods (unlike Borobudur, which is a Buddhist monument).  The three main temples in the Candi Prambanan complex were supposed to be surrounded by hundreds and hundreds of smaller temples, but unfortunately most of destroyed during the earthquake that hit Yogjakarta in 2006.  Reconstruction is proceeding slowly but surely.

 

 
The weather changed fast.  Ten minutes ago, it was clear skies.  Carry a umbrella or face the wrath of the gods.
